Heavy In Your Arms Katherine about Damon and Stefan
Who is the betrayer?
Who's the killer in the crowd?
The one who creeps in corridors
And doesn't make a sound
My love has concrete feet
My love's an iron ball
Wrapped around your ankles
Over the waterfall
The Smashing Pumpkins -
Bullet with Butterfly WingsDamon to Katherine
Tell me I'm the only one
Tell me there's no other one
Jesus was the only son, yeah.
Tell me I'm the chosen one
Jesus was the only son for you
Despite all my rage I am still just a rat in a cage
Despite all my rage I am still just a rat in a cage
And someone will say what is lost can never be saved
Despite all my rage I am still just a rat in a cage

Siren Song Stefan to Damon
In the morning I'll make you breakfast
In the evening I'll warm the bed
And I'll always be happy to kiss you
Promise I'll never get sad
Till the siren come calling calling
It's driving me evil evil
I was a heart breaker I loved you
The same way I do
But I've got so much wickedness and sin
OneRepublic -
Prodigal Stefan to Damon
And I take everything from you
But you'll take anything
Won't you?
Run away, run away
Like a prodigal
Don't you wait for me
Don't you wait for me
So ashamed, so ashamed
But I need you so
And you wait for me
And you wait for me
Adele -
One and Only Elena to Stefan
If I've been on your mind, you hang on every word I say
Lose yourself in time at the mention of my name
Will I ever know how it feels to hold you close
And have you tell me whichever road I choose you'll go
I don't know why I'm scared 'cause I've been here before
Every feeling, every word, I've imagined it all
You'll never know if you never try
To forget your past and simply be mine
John Mayer -
Heartbreak Warfare Stefan to Damon
Clouds of sulfur in the air
Bombs are falling everywhere
It's heartbreak warfare
Once you want it to begin,
No one really ever wins
In heartbreak warfare
How come the only way to know how high you get me
is to see how far I fall
God only knows how much I'd love you if you let me
but I can't break through at all
Bruce Springsteen -
Blood Brothers Stefan to Damon
On through the houses of the dead past those fallen in their tracks
Always movin' ahead and never lookin' back
Now I don't know how I feel, I don't know how I feel tonight
If I've fallen 'neath the wheel, if I've lost or I've gained sight
I don't even know why, I don't know why I made this call
Or if any of this matters anymore after all
But the stars are burnin' bright like some mystery uncovered
I'll keep movin' through the dark with you in my heart
My blood brother
John Mayer -
Slow Dancing In A Burning Room Stefan to Damon
I'll make the most of all the sadness,
You'll be a bitch because you can.
You try to hit me just to hurt me
So you leave me feeling dirty
Because you can't understand.
We're going down,
And you can see it too.
We're going down,
And you know that we're doomed.
My dear,
We're slow dancing in a burning room.
U2 -
With or Without YouDamon, about Katherine to Stefan
Sleight of hand and twist of fate
On a bed of nails she makes me wait
And I wait without you
With or without you
With or without you
I can't live
With or without you
Gyote -
Somebody I used to Know Now and then I think of when we were together
Like when you said you felt so happy you could die
I told myself that you were right for me
But felt so lonely in your company
But that was love and it's an ache I still remember
But you didn't have to cut me off
Make it like it never happened and that we were nothing
I don't even need your love, but you treat me like a stranger
And that feels so rough
Kelly Clarkson -
Beautiful Disaster Note: the copy of this song I have available in the download link above is a studio version, not live like this one is.
Elena about Damon
Oh and I don't know
I don't know what he's after
But he's so beautiful
Such a beautiful disaster
And if I could hold on
Through the tears and the laughter
Would it be beautiful?
Or just a beautiful disaster
Part 2
Nine Inch Nails -
Hurt Stefan to Damon and Elena
What have I become,
My sweetest friend?
Everyone I know,
Goes away in the end.
You could have it all,
My empire of dirt.
I will let you down,
I will make you hurt...
If I could start again,
A million miles away,
I would keep myself,
I would find a way.
Florence and the Machine -
Cosmic Love Elena to Stefan
I took the stars from my eyes and then I made a map
And knew that somehow I could find my way back
Then I heard your heart beating, you were in the darkness too
So I stayed in the darkness with you
The stars, the moon, they have all been blown out
You left me in the dark
No dawn, no day, I'm always in this twilight
In the shadow of your heart
Coldplay -
Fix You Damon to Stefan
And the tears come streaming down your face
When you lose something you can't replace
When you love someone but it goes to waste
Could it be worse?
High up above or down below
When you're too in love to let it go
But if you never try you'll never know
Just what you're worth
Lights will guide you home
And ignite your bones
And I will try to fix you

Crash Stefan to Damon
Do you feel like the dream has passed:
Like time is a virus and it’s found us at last
Just give me one thing to hold on to
Just give me one thing that isn’t see through
We crashed into the ocean
(Don’t disappear, don’t vanish)
And you vanished in the night
(Don’t disappear, don’t vanish)
And now I’m crawling from the wreckage
(Don’t disappear, don’t vanish)
And I’m drowning in colors, I’m drowning in black and white
(Don’t disappear, don’t vanish)
OneRepublic -
Come Home Damon to Stefan
There’s someone I’ve been missing
I think that they could be
The better half of me
They’re in the wrong place trying to make it right
But I’m tired of justifying
So I say to you..
Come home
Come home
Cause I’ve been waiting for you
For so long
For so long
Right now there's a war between the vanities
But all I see is you and me
The fight for you is all I’ve ever known
So come home
Ryan Adams -
Desire Stefan to Damon
You know me.
You don’t mind waiting
You Just can’t show me,
but God I’m praying,
That you’ll find me, and that you’ll see me,
That you run and never tire.
Desire
Bird York -
Come Be With Me Elena to Stefan
Funny how your eyes keep wandering
Every time I speak of deeper things
My love has no walls, it has no strings
So if you want to go, if you want to leave
When you're ready, when you're ready, when you're ready
Come be with me
Ben Lee -
Ache For You Damon to Elena
It’s getting late, anticipation
And if we talk, communication
Then you’ll know, I ache for you
And yes sometimes it’s just desire
Another problem there you really don’t want
But anyway, I ache for you
Sarah McLachlan -
Do What You Have To Do Elena to Damon
What ravages of spirit
Conjured this tempestuous rage?
Created you a monster
Broken by the rule of love
And fate has lead you through it
You do what you have to do
And fate has led you through it
You do what you have to do
Ben Lee -
Apple Candy Damon to Elena
I want to know what he knows
I want to hear your secrets
I want you and I want him
Cause you smell like apple candy
And you're singing hallelujah
And the edge in your affection broke my skin
Ieyoka -
Simply Falling Elena to Damon and Stefan
There goes my heart again
All of this time I thought we were pretending
Nothing looks the same when your eyes are open
Now you're playing these games to keep my heartbeat spinning
You show me love, you show me love
You show me everything my heart is capable of
You reshape me like butterfly origami
There my heart goes again
In your arms I'm falling deeper
And there's nothing to break me away from this
OneRepublic -
All This Time Stefan to Damon and Elena
And there's just no question
What this man should do
Take all the time lost
All the days that I cost
Take what I took and
Give it back to you
All this time
We were waiting for each other
All this time I was waiting for you
Skye -
Not Broken Elena to Damon and Stefan
Oh no no don’t let go
Just Listen
Goodness increases
You will see
And when you fall
Down in between them all
Here you are whole
Not broken
